Become a supporter of the Albert Einstein Institution

The Albert Einstein Institution is in immediate danger.

This year, three of our largest donors have suffered misfortunes beyond their control. Without their support, we have lost the majority of our annual income, and we will not be able to sustain our operations through the summer.

At the same time our work is in greater demand than ever. We are receiving requests for our workshops, consultations, and publications from activists throughout the world on a daily basis — from pro-democracy groups in the Congo to anti-corruption activists in Brazil and those working to put an end to violence in Yemen and many, many more.

And the worst part is, those who are abusing human rights throughout the world would love nothing better than for us to close our doors. Today in Angola, fifteen young people are serving jail sentences of between five to eight years just for reading our books. Our work in particular is being targeted by many authoritarian regimes throughout the world.

Needless to say - we can't let them win.

We are hoping that enough people like you will get behind our mission and help to save this Institution. For the first time in our 33-year history, we are asking individuals to become ongoing supporters by making monthly pledges. This is the kind of grassroots support that can make our work succeed. As you will see below, we are offering a variety of gifts to show our gratitude for your support.
